The supreme divine power from gaia's will completely awakened within Hansen's body.
Upon his flawless golden physique, mysterious and complex golden divine patterns, like a cosmic star map, began to emerge.
At this moment, the authority of the planet was bestowed upon him.
Hansen compressed and refined that immense divine power, capable of twisting the universe, firmly onto his fist.
Then, he threw a punch.
His ordinary golden fist collided with the world-destroying Star-Collapsing Roar Cannon!
Tear—
The moment the pink-purple beam of destruction touched that golden light, its leading edge instantly split and diverted to both sides!
From Earth's perspective, the world-ending cannon, which had been shooting straight into deep space, was forcefully split in half, forming a brilliant aurora that divided the pitch-black universe into three parts!
And at the center of this magnificent spectacle, Hansen's seemingly unremarkable punch, after tearing through the Star-Collapsing Roar Cannon, did not stop. It pierced through the torrent of energy and instantly slammed into Boros's chest!
Puff—!
The body of the Cosmic Overlord, along with his Immortal (undying) belief and the last trace of disbelief in his single eye, exploded into a shower of flesh and blood fragments.
However, these pink-glowing fragments of flesh and blood did not immediately dissipate.
Among them, Boros's single eye, in an extreme contraction of his pupils due to shock, instinctively activated "Ultimate Regeneration," aggregating surrounding energy and matter, and instantly reconstructing his body!
"How... is this... possible...!"
The newly recovered Boros fell into an unprecedented state of weakness and emptiness.
Releasing the Star-Collapsing Roar Cannon had exhausted most of his energy in his Meteor Burst form.
And this time, a complete resurrection from a state of total pulverization required an astronomical amount of energy, almost completely draining the last shred of his remaining power!
His body flickered between bright and dim, like a candle flame in the wind that could extinguish at any moment.
However, before the Cosmic Overlord could complete this last difficult gasp, a flawless golden figure silently appeared before his newly reconstructed body.
The same punch was already raised.
Hansen's platinum-gold pupils looked down at him, his tone as calm as if stating a fact.
"One punch isn't enough? Then have another."
The next moment, Boros's entire field of vision in his single eye was once again filled by a seemingly ordinary golden fist.
Boom—!
Without giving him any chance to breathe, Hansen's fist once again squarely struck his chest.
Time and space lost their meaning in that instant.
The newly reconstructed flesh and bones, along with the last trace of energy surging within them, were utterly crushed by extreme violence at the moment of impact!
The scene of blood and shattered flesh scattering instantly replayed.
However, this time, after being blown up twice in a row, "Ultimate Regeneration" finally exhausted every last bit of energy within the Cosmic Overlord.
Those pink-glowing fragments of flesh and blood floated in the vacuum of space, like dying stardust.
This resurrection became incredibly slow.
Ultimately, Boros, completely depleted of energy, could only, in the endless darkness, barely reconstruct a shriveled head with a withered eyeball and dry hair, and a section of emaciated, skin-and-bones body, no longer possessing the domineering aura and power he had when he lorded over the star sea.
In Boros's single eye, fanaticism and battle intent completely faded.
Only endless emptiness, weakness, and a hint of relief remained.
Hansen watched this Cosmic Overlord heading towards his end, the brilliant golden light, as if cast from divine metal, slowly retracted, returning him to his normal state.
His perfect golden body also faded, reverting to a human appearance, with only his platinum-gold pupils still revealing the god-like power within him.
"It's over."
[Ding! Detected copyable target "Boros"!]
[Initiating ability replication...]

[Current ability slots occupied: 0 / 30.]
Just as he blew up Boros a second time, Hansen unhesitatingly replicated the Cosmic Overlord's abilities.
Almost instantly, the surging violent power that had just entered was completely tamed by the deeper divine power within Hansen.
He felt as if he had personally experienced Boros's entire journey from birth to destruction, gaining a brand new understanding of energy release, physical regeneration, and ultimate break out (burst), surpassing that of the original owner.
As he said, this battle was already over.
"Yes... it's over..."
Boros uttered a few words hoarsely, as if using his last ounce of strength.
His shriveled single eye looked at the incomprehensibly powerful man before him, showing not much hatred, but rather three parts satisfaction, three parts regret, and three parts unwillingness.
"The prophecy... was not wrong... So, this is... the taste... of defeat..."
His voice grew softer and softer, and the light in his single eye, like a candle in the wind, gradually dimmed.
Hansen knew that with Boros's UR-level regeneration ability, as long as he had enough energy, even if only a single cell remained, he could completely revive, crossing the boundary of life and death, just like the Ninja King.
This was a valuable trophy, priceless whether as a future subordinate or as research material.
Just as he was about to store this remnant body into the Imaginary Nation, an unexpected change occurred!
The surrounding cosmic space suddenly froze.
A presence filled with absolute stillness and ominousness descended out of thin air!
A peculiar, pitch-black cube with geometric patterns, ignoring space and distance, appeared between the two without any warning.
It floated silently, yet exuded an extreme allure to living beings.
A God!
It sensed Boros's dying body, which possessed supreme potential, and wanted to transform him into its proxy—
A God-Awakened!
With its divine power, even though Boros's current state was terrible, it could instantly create a Cosmic Overlord even more powerful than he was in his prime!
"My hard-earned prey, and you try to snatch it without even a greeting?"
Hansen's platinum-gold pupils slightly narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them.
Even if this guy was now his nominal boss, there was no reason to take credit like this.
(The God, whose divine power was still rapidly draining: You still remember I'm the boss!?)
